If you flip a coin four times what is the probability of flipping tails four times

1 answer:

5 0

There are 16 possible outcomes.
Out of all 16 outcomes, there is only one way to get the result T T T T.
Therefore, the probability is 1/16 or 0.0625

Assuming that boy and girl babies are equally likely, what would be Kathy's probability of having at most one daughter if she

JulijaS [17]

Answer: 0.3125.

Step-by-step explanation:

The chance of having a boy is 0.5,
the chance of having a girl is also 0.5.

Outcome 1: all boys

boy boy boy boy

0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 = 0.0625

Outcome 2: first child is a girl, all others are boys

girl boy boy boy

0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 = 0.0625

Outcome 3: second child is a girl, all others are boys

boy girl boy boy

0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 = 0.0625

Outcome 4: third child is a girl, all others are boys

boy boy girl boy

0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 = 0.0625

Outcome 5: fourth child is a girl, all others are boys

boy boy boy girl

0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 = 0.0625

Therefore,

0.0625 + 0.0625 + 0.0625 + 0.0625 + 0.0625 = 0.0625 * 5 = 0.3125

A recent study showed that the length of time that juries deliberate on a verdict for civil trials is normally distributed with

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

Probability that deliberation will last between 12 and 15 hours is 0.1725.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a recent study showed that the length of time that juries deliberate on a verdict for civil trials is normally distributed with a mean equal to 12.56 hours with a standard deviation of 6.7 hours.

Let X = length of time that juries deliberate on a verdict for civil trials

So, X ~ N( $\mu = 12.56, \sigma^{2} = 6.7^{2}$ )

The z score probability distribution is given by;

Z = $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\mu$ = mean time = 12.56 hours

$\sigma$ = standard deviation = 6.7 hours

So, Probability that deliberation will last between 12 and 15 hours is given by = P(12 hours < X < 15 hours) = P(X < 15) - P(X $\leq$ 12)

P(X < 15) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ < $\frac{15-12.56}{6.7}$ ) = P(Z < 0.36) = 0.64058

P(X $\leq$ 12) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ $\leq$ $\frac{12-12.56}{6.7}$ ) = P(Z $\leq$ -0.08) = 1 - P(Z < 0.08)

= 1 - 0.53188 = 0.46812

Therefore, P(12 hours < X < 15 hours) = 0.64058 - 0.46812 = 0.1725

Hence, probability that deliberation will last between 12 and 15 hours is 0.1725.
